Although often ignored by many warehouse managers when optimizing warehouse operations, the put-away process is a critical step to increasing warehouse efficiency. The initial placement of goods has a direct impact on all subsequent warehouse processes, especially the picking process. If goods are not stored in the most appropriate location, there is an increase in traveling time and the time it takes to pick and pack goods.

Every supply chain has a central purpose, regardless of size or industry: getting materials from their point of origin to the place they’re needed as quickly and inexpensively as possible. Designing a supply chain to accomplish that task isn’t as straightforward as it seems, especially when technology is involved. A smart company pays attention to the way their supply chain operates, and that means working with a proactive design over a reactive one.

Indeed, for a lot of people the phrase “Made in America” seems to reflect a bygone era as the country’s manufacturing sectors have waned with the rise of the so-called digital economy.

Every company has logistics problems. The most common problem that I hear companies want to solve is understanding how compliant they are with their own routing guide. This includes both outbound and inbound freight. The second most common problem is looking for ways to cut their freight cost. Many companies will try to solve their logistics problems internally, but for a variety of reasons, they never quite get solved completely.

Supply chain design is all about two things: Provide extraordinary customer service through fast and full fulfillment AND do this profitably. As a company, you will not survive if you cannot do both of these things simultaneously. Sound simple? Sure, but then why do so many supply chain professionals only do the back half? As I work with companies I continue to emphasize that it is important for our supply chain to drive revenue.
